My bru I hear, I've had this fight with my self for months but like I say man, even though I sort of have the money at the moment to just at least 2l Ecotech conversion without anything else I don't really want to for the mere fact that I don't have another car to drive, and if the there is one thing I hate is having stand on the side of road with a car that don't want to drive... So I rather do some minor mods to the stuff I have you digs...
Lol but if you can suggest where I can I get a reliable motor and garage that is not going to f@ck about then I might consider that otherwise I don't really consider spending like 6k on getting some small sh!te here and there just to make it a bit more fun while still being a reliable car as a waste of money. At the moment the exterior mods are defiantly happening I am in two minds on doing those things to the motor.

At the moment the exterior mods are defiantly happening I am in two minds on doing those things to the motor. im gonna ninja your thread, but i have been researching the look i would like to go for, with my car... i layed out a rough 2 year plan to get the car how i want it, so far the first 4 months have not gone to plan, but im getting there. it has taken me 13 months to build up a vr6 motor, that is complete, but not yet dropped in yet, cause i bought the chip, branch, new engine mountings, cv joints etc... some people know what they want and stick to a plan to get it done, you see all those nice show cars and REALLY nice daily drives, alot of them took either tonnes of money or loads of time to complete or ulimately both. like you have it up there listed, start buying in parts and goodies, then one month sacrifice and have it fitted, tuned, dropped, stanced out. my R12.47
